From Siem Reap you are best off taking a Tuk Tuk, which you will have for the entire duration of your trip to the temples. Once in the complex, your driver will wait while you explore, then take you to the next temple and in the end back to your accommodation. Costs of visiting Angkor Wat Depe...

Wow, so its Christmas week already, it feels like yesterday I was excited about heading off to Cambodia at the end of July.
